Canvas

Lyrics

[Intro - hazy lo-fi keys, distant vinyl crackle, mumbled ad-libs]

Yeah... paintin' on the canvas... slow strokes... uh...

[Verse 1 - sparse piano chords, slow deliberate flow, echoing reverb on vocals, minimal 808 rumble]

Stuck in my head, colors bleedin' out the frame
Life's a blank sheet, but the pain got a name
Splatter red for the nights I couldn't sleep
Blue tears drippin', runnin' deep like the streets
I sketch my scars with a brush dipped in truth
Every stroke heavy, carryin' weight from my youth
No eraser for the ghosts that haunt the edges
Turned my mess to masterpiece, no pledges

[Chorus - slowed trap hi-hats, warm synth pads swelling, layered auto-tuned harmonies, introspective vibe]

This my canvas, yeah, I paint it how I feel
Layers of hurt, but the real shit's concealed
Stroke by stroke, buildin' worlds in the dark
Heart on the easel, leavin' permanent marks
Canvas callin', pour my soul in the mix
Slow motion dreams, watch 'em flicker and fix
This my canvas... yeah...

[Verse 2 - glitchy vocal chops, creeping bassline, finger-snapped rhythm, half-time flow with ad-libs]

Memories fade like watercolor in the rain
Chasin' shadows, tryna capture what remains
Gold for the wins that slipped right through my grip
Black ink for the losses, watch the canvas rip
I blend the highs with the lows, no filter
Raw emotion, let it spill, let it wilt her
From the corner of my mind to the gallery walls
Turned my chaos to art, answerin' my own calls

[Bridge - stripped to ambient pads and faint reverb whispers, vulnerable spoken-sung delivery, building tension with subtle hi-hat rolls]

What you see ain't always what I meant to show...
Layers underneath, only the mirror know...
Brush in my hand, but the colors run wild...
Paintin' forever on this endless child...

[Outro - fading piano echoes, dissolving 808s, trailed-off ad-libs, vinyl slow-down effect]

Canvas... yeah, my canvas... slow fade... uh... paint it black...
